Wash the hull and bottom immediately after lifting the vessel out of the water.

Wash all parts inside, also under the floorboards.

Leave all lockers, drawers, cabin and wardrobe doors open.

Remove the carpets.

• Store the carpets and cushions indoors in a dry place.

• If this is not possible, make sure that the cushions are dry and position them on their side. 

Be very thorough about having good ventilation in the boat.

If the batteries are left aboard, make sure they are fully charged, otherwise the batteries can freeze and crack.
